Just asking if it would be possible to animate the octopus tentacles individually? Octopus.CFX only allows alternative tentacles move in synchronization. I'd like to make it appear that it's grabbing something.
The 8 tentacles only move in synchronization when the FX ASYNCHRONOUS property is set to 0.
If this prop is not 0, the 8 tentacles still behave the same but all have their own delay. This makes it more interesting.
The Special\Octopus effect can't animate the tentacles individually (this would require a lot of properties and would be very laborious), but offers enough possibilities to make it grab something. I think the Sea Monsters pack proves that:
